The milk sector, traditionally a strong representative at Anuga FoodTec, is one of the key innovations drivers in the food industry.

"Whey products and ESL-milk are just two innovative product areas that are setting new standards in the milk sector. During this year's Anuga FoodTec, we will be seeing a number of innovations in the cheese and dairy sectors. Here, the DLG-Milk Technology forum will will offer the opportunity to look behind the scenes and delve into some of the details," said Professor Dr. Herbert Buckenhueskes, Manager Food Technology, DLG Competence Cen-ter for Agriculture and Food

Dr. Peter Lorenzen from the Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Foods will be pre-senting results in relation to research on the properties of fermented milk products from milk treated with transglutaminase. "Innovative procedures for the liquid use of whey" is the subject of the paper by Gerhard Schier vom ALPMA Maschinenbau GmbH. Following that, Klaus Lochbuehler from INDAG in Heidelberg will be focusing his presentation on fruit preparation as an example of the use of IPS - an innovative heating technology for pas-teurising and sterilising foods. Research results on the use of simulation in the milk proc-essing industry will be presented by Jan le Blond from the Fraunhofer Institute for Produc-tion Technology and Automation. The concluding paper, by Frank Welle from Fraunhofer Institute, discusses modern production processes for packaging of milk products and the trends in the light of conformity.
